From Conception: Live 1981 is a 2007 live album by heavy metal band Dokken.

This album contains rare live recordings allegedly from 1981, before the band released its first album Breaking the Chains. However, the performance is more likely from December 1983, as the setlist exactly matches known setlists from the 1983 time period. Moreover, Jeff Pilson is listed as the bass player on the recording, something that couldn't have been possible in 1981 since Juan Croucier played bass for the group until after 1982. Finally, according to Pilson, the recording is actually from a King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast from December 1983 (citation needed). Why the album has been marketed as being from 1981 is unknown.

There are three previously unreleased songs included on the album: "Goin' Down", "Hit And Run", "You're A Liar", as well with slightly arranged versions of some tracks from the Breaking the Chains album such as "Paris Is Burning", "Breakin' The Chains" or the 8-minute long "Night Rider".
